    • Trivia
      According to Bubba Smith, he made more money from his work on this film alone, than he had earned in ten years of playing professional football. This was due to Bubba having requested a 2 percent piece of the movie's profits, in lieu of a higher salary prior to shooting.
    • Goofs
      When there is a fight at the Blue Oyster Bar and Hooks go to find the address, Proctor says the address is 621 Cowan Avenue. When Mahoney and Hightower get there, the number on the door says 655.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Mauser: [Mauser and Proctor are spying on Lassard greeting the new recruits in his office] So... these academy rats are going to save the precinct?

      Proctor: Hey, personally, lieutenant, I hope they fall flat on their asses.

      Lt. Mauser: That can be arranged, you know?

      Proctor: What do you mean?

      Lt. Mauser: Well, if they fail, I take over as commander of the precinct.

      Lt. Mauser: So?

      Lt. Mauser: So... we make sure they fail.

      Proctor: Who?

      Lt. Mauser: The new recruits.

      Proctor: Why?

      Lt. Mauser: If they fail, Lassard's out, I'm in. And I'm gonna need somebody to be the new watch commander. And you know who that's gonna be.

      Proctor: [confused] Who?

      Lt. Mauser: [annoyed] You, dickhead, you!

      Proctor: Oh... oh... well, good idea.

      Lt. Mauser: You're not playing with a full deck, are you?

      Proctor: Oh, I don't play cards.

    Worth a look, it's still funny.

    I was always surprised that we didn't get Goonies part 2, it's fair to say in the 1980's, if a film was a success, a sequel was on the way. I still love the original, and I'm also a big fan of the first sequel. They retain the cast, but also add to it, the elements that made the first very funny are still here. There are definitely some funny scenes, the shower gel being the best, the removal of weapons, and generally every scene that features Zed. It won't be for everyone, and you get the impression it was put together quickly to cash in on the first, but it is funny, and it retains the spirit of the original.

    I still find it funny. 7/10
